The opening ceremony of Aluminium Bahrain’s (Alba) Summer Safety and Health Campaign for 2025 was attended by Aqeel Buhussein, the Assistant Undersecretary for Labour Relations at the Ministry of Labour, along with senior officials, representatives from contracting companies operating at Alba, and employees from across the plant.
Adding further Al Baqali stated, “Summer brings its own set of challenges in our industry, all of which put our resilience to test. We are proud to have achieved eight years without any heat-related injuries and illnesses in 2024, and, most recently, surpassed 37 million safe working hours without LTI; but summer-related risks repeat every year, and we must stay proactive to ensure that every team member stays safe, supported and ready to beat the heat.”
The campaign will run until July 23 and focus on topics such as hydration, heat awareness, and safe work practices. The aim is to equip employees with knowledge and tools for safety both on and off the job.
The program includes panel discussions emphasizing cross-functional collaboration and safety best practices across departments. A health awareness session titled “Health in Summer” will be conducted by General Practitioner Dr. Abrar Mahdi. Additionally, a ‘Young Albawee’ session will showcase children of Alba employees promoting safety through creative presentations.
This campaign is part of Alba’s commitment to a world-class safety culture for its workforce. The company has received several recognitions including RoSPA 2025 Health and Safety Achievement Award (President’s Award), British Safety Council 2025 International Safety Award, as well as awards from the National Safety Council in the USA. These accolades highlight Alba’s efforts to enhance safety standards inside and outside the workplace.
